Tod Papageorge: American Sports, 1970: Or, How We Spent the War in Vietnam
ISBN: 9781597110501 / Angielski / Twarda / 131 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Coolly observational yet intensely engaging, the immensely influential American photographer Tod Papageorge's American Sports, 1970 draws a subtle but sharp parallel between the war in Vietnam and the American attitude toward spectator sports during a time of conflict. In 1970, a watershed year for popular opinion against the war, Papageorge was awarded a Guggenheim Foundation grant. His ostensible subject--sports and its role in American life--quickly became charged with the political, racial and sexual conflicts ignited by the war. Each and every picture is electric with disquiet....

The first full-length title in English on the celebrated photographer Claude Cahun whose work was rediscovered in the 1980s.

In "Tunnels," Portuguese photographer Andri Prmncipe explores the boundaries of knowing oneself and others through themes such as isolation and absence.

This book, the first in a trilogy on the artist's work, is edited like a novel, dealing with abstract, non-pictorial themes that are usually associated with literature or film.

Aura Rosenberg: Head Shots: Photographs by Aura Rosenberg
ISBN: 9781881616566 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Aura Rosenberg is concerned with the visible expression of sexual desire. Capturing the moment of orgasm on camera is usually reserved for the voyeur, the hidden witness. What Rosenberg has done is present herself as the public's witness via the camera, inviting a number of men into her studio to reenact the ecstasy of release, the moment when potency and vulnerability coexist. The result is a collection of extraordinary photographs that run the gamut of psychosexual expression. Whether her subjects were really giving their best shot or simply indulging in sublime fakery is just one of the...

Questions to My Father
ISBN: 9781904563259 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1916, with the Great War reducing northern Europe to a treeless, shattered void, a boy was born to the prosperous director of a pharmaceutical firm in Zurich. He was named Werner. It was not an auspicious time to be born and, indeed, his mother died soon after. As a child young Werner sought order in his life by dissecting snails and photographing, in the limpid light of his own creation, the elegant whorls revealed. He did not become the physical training instructor (a compromise) his father wanted him to be. He did not become the painter he had once wanted to be in Paris in 1939, on the...

ISBN: 9781931788557 / Angielski / Twarda / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Museum Project, Korean photographer Atta Kim commandeers average scenes--city streets, department stores, freight depots and forests--and turns them into exhibition spaces. On display are people crammed into acrylic boxes, stacked in sets, on end, or sometimes alone. In selecting his subjects and isolating them in their boxes, Kim aims to "detach them from reality; to display and deconstruct at the same time my own concept of the world." Kim compares his efforts to that of an archaeologist, sifting through the cultural strata in order to unearth and hold up exemplary objects for...

Katy Grannan: Model American
ISBN: 9781931788816 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Working with ordinary people who answered ads in local papers, posing them in their nondescript homes or unexceptional landscapes and using relatively simple equipment, Katy Grannan alchemizes these factors into extraordinary photographs. Disarming for their directness and for the provocative but casual nudity on display, her pictures capture the spirit of her subjects in the manner of Diane Arbus, but they also draw upon the artificial, posed tableaux of Gregory Crewdson and, indeed, art history. The posture of the tattooed and tanned (and nude) figure in "Mike," a 2003 portrait which...

Newton's collection of portraits from the worlds of film, fashion, politics and culture can be considered a pantheon of VIP's. But his work is a lot more besides. From his portraits, one can see that he would have most liked to be a Roman paparazzo - as he once admitted. Anyone who had a portrait made by him knew what the result would be, and by the 1980's there were absolutely no 'beautiful people' in this world who did not want to be photographed by him In front of his camera, both men and women peeled off their covers - literally as well as figuratively. His brilliant staged creations...

ISBN: 9783829603348 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eberhard Havekost is the youthful shooting star of the internationally acclaimed Leipzig School. His images, dubbed -photoshop realism- by critics are cool and distanced. Havekost makes the on-screen computer image the direct subject of his painting. The user interface is his painterly theme and how the images appear on it, electronically manipulated, or rather beautified and illuminated from behind. Simple, almost trivial objects filtered electronically and mutated are painted to canvas by Havekost. Mutants of reality transformed into paintings that exude a mysterious bleakness. Our book,...
